From what I've heard his chances weren't good here, but in future states he can probably make it up. It's not over yet.

Got news for you, Whateverist the White: I don't even live in the United States. Where I'm from people are used to voting for people they agree with. Draft won't happen because then families will lament that their children (who didn't sign up for the army) are going to war. If I remember rightly, last time it was used was Vietnam. Draft will shift public opinion greatly away from war, especially in our World Wide Web age.
Recent poll: 33% of Sanders supporters say they won't bore for Hillary. If I lived in the United States I wouldn't be alone. The political class is full of noobs and the donors will keep you scared so you have to keep voting for a Democrat. It's a vicious cycle.

The chicken will keep you alive. You get used to the taste.
Oh and despite what Americans like to tell you we have a deeply flawed form of government. It is very, very hard to accomplish anything here.

Never understood why Americans refer to their president is leader of the free world.
In the free world people have a choice about who their leaders are. No one outside America has a choice about who the American president is and nor does (s)he decide on any laws outside of the US. All they can do is say what they would like to see happen in the outside world and be ignored by everyone whilst doing so.

We've been trained to think very highly of ourselves. Patriotism is such a big deal that peaceful protesters are often shunned, despite the fact that freedom to protest is in the first amendment of the constitution.

I am voting democrat no matter who we nominate. The thought of the religious right and corporate welfare protecting GOP having control over the White House, and just as importantly a Supreme Court that will affect laws for a generation, scares the shit out of me.
So to the jackasses in BOTH Bernie and Hillary camps, KNOCK IT OFF! This is NOT ABOUT them, this is about our collective future.
